ClfY OF tExlco (via Galveston), Sep.
temper l9.-Military and political circles
are greatly excited to-day over the result
OF a duel which tool place at 8 O'Clock
1nls morning ip one OF the barracks of this
city. The PRINCIPALS were General Rocha
and Antoine Gayon, who is chief OF one Of
the bureaus OF the War Department. The
trouble grew out of a controversy over the
conduct Of Lopez at Queretaro and bis
relations to Maximillian. Some time ago
Senator Gayon, who was one oil the of.
Ulcers in the imperial army under Maximil-
Ian. wrote a letter. which was published in
the papers, denouncing Lopez as q traitor,
and asserting that bis conduct was we'll un-

his newspaper, Ell Combato, saying that
some men were

and others to their country. but that did
rot prevent their taking Office under a new
regime. Senior Gayon. who is ackpowl-
edged to be a brave man, challenged Gen.
eral Rocha. General Rocha selected as his
ecOnds General Waranio aud Colonel
Omano. At the first fire, Senior Gayon
fell pierced in the right breast, by u bmilet.
He soon rallied, however, and inquired if
the duel could not proceed, when his sec.
onds and surgeon replied that it could not.
This afternoon Seuor Gayon lies in a criti.

DIR. Richard T. Ely, the professor Of
Political Economy in the Johns Hopkins
University, has been engaged by the Balti-
more San to write series of articles for
that journal discussing several branches
of his science as they appertain to the pre-
sent welfare of this country. In his in
troductory article, published in last Sat-
urday's issue, DR.. Ely announces that in
discussing the question of protective tar
iff he will not initiate the example of Mr..
James G. Blaine in adducing figures to
show the increase of wealth in the country
during certain period, as an evidence of
the benefits of protective tariff. He
shows the deceit and the fallacy of Mr..
Blaine's figures, g howing the great increase
of wealth in this country since 1860, by
citing the fact that an English statistician
has shown similar results in free trade
England. The DR.. forcibly shows that the
great question is not how much wealth
there is ia the country, bat how that
wealth is distributed among the people
He says 1.-The question may well be raised
whether what we have as a nation is de-
sirable distributed, and whether certain
alarming tendencies to concentration of
wealth and monopoly in business are
wholly unconnected with our tariff legis-
lation." Dr.. Ely's papers promise to be
very interesting and instructive.

The Baltimore Sunday american and
some other equally sensational wise acres
have intimated the possibility that Hon
Michael Bannon will Secome candidate

Such a suggestion originates of course

Arundel. are fully impressed with the ad
visibility of keeping him in Congress-

entitle him to recognition. He is an &C

thing his constituents can do for theil

judgement or with better results than be
He is always accessible, courteous and
ready to help any one who has claim
upon his services, as numbers can testify
He is in fact model representative and
although we have never interchanged a
word with Mr.. Bannon on this subject
we are satisfied that he has no intention
to enter the list against Mr.. Compton.
Mr.. Bannon is no fool and be knows
that if Mr.. Compton will consent to run
for another term he will get the nomina-
tion and can be elected without any trou-

been taken few months after his appoint

buse heaped upon him by the republican

for himself the reputation Of being one OF

The Supreme Court of the Usited States
settled an important question las, week
in the decision rendered in the prohibit

Of local as we'll ~ national interest. The
prohibition law Of Kansas prohibited the

in that State. The statute closed brew

passage of the prohibitory law. The

ish the value Of property that was psrtic-
ularly valuable ss brewery, which 1t was
claimed the closing of the brewery did.
The Supreme Court says unhesita'ingly
yes; tbs, the police power inherent in all
the States, fully empowers them to abate
nuisance and to decide TOR ,bemse yes

say no man has q right to claim compen-
sation for the loss OF returns from his
property of his business if that property
was used, or business conducted to the
injury of health. morals or good order of
the community.
This decision settles the law of the case
not only for Kansas, but for the counties
of Maryland where prohibition prevails.
Coming at this time the decision will be
particularly disagreesble to our Kansas
indulgers, who were already preparing
their toddies for the happy Chritmas time.

Judge Faux ner Gets the Sea {.

The Senate committee on privileges and
elections have decided unanimously to
seat Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia.
Mr.. Lucas and Mr. Faulkner both address
ed the committee. Mr.. Lucas claimed
that Mr.. Faulkner was elected at q special
session of the Legislature called for .
special purpose, and that the buiness of
that session was restricted to tha. for
which the Legis 'aturo was called ,ogeth-
er. He claimed that the Legislature at
its special session had no power to eect q
Senator, and that be, tMr. Lucas,) as the
appointee, was entitled to the
seat. Mr.. Faulkner claimed that the pow.
er to elect Senators was conferred by the
federal and not the State constitution,
and that his election was therefore not
irregular. The committee debated an
hour and awarded Mr.. Faulkner the seat.

OF CHARLES COUNTY.
Honesty is the Best Policy.

The popular opinion of Grover Cleve-
land has been steadily in the ascendency
ever since he assumed the executive func-
tions of the government. The unprece-
dented public manifestations during his
recent tour of the Western and Southern
sections Of the Union proved that it had
already nearly if not quite reached the
point of enthusiastic approval and admir-
alton. But if the feeling of the masses of
the people toward the Executive has thus
far fallen short in any degree of positive
admiration and affection, there is no rea-
son to doubt that his recent brave, fearless
and patriotic, and, at the same time, clear,
strong and mastery utterances on the ques-
tion of tariff reform will raise the popular
regard fully up to that point.
Any one who has studied the character
of Mr.. Cleveland as revealed by his public
acts and utterances' in his administration
of the affairs of the Federal government,
will understand his marvellous success in
life. 1t will be seen that his fapid and
almost unexampled ascendency from the
humblest walks of life to the highest dig
nifty and most exalted station in the great
government of which he is a citizen, has
not been due to chance or "luck," as has
been sometimes said; but to the solid
character of the man-so true, 50 honest,
so brave and so essentially American and
democratic in its every phase and every
feature
When public opinion compares the man
ly, unequivocal and emphatic declarations
of the Presidents recent message upon that
all absorbing and momentous question Of
tariff reform, with the double dealing e.
quivocation. dissimulation and trimming
resorted to by the average politician, plat
form maker and public official, it cannot
fail to be aroused to full realization of
the great fact that there is now at the head
of the American government THAT noblest
work of God, an honest man." The same
degree of popular admiration and en,hu-
siasm which rallied around Washington
and jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln,
the most conspicuous examples of that
type of man which American politics has
ever brought to the headship OF the gov
ernment, may be expected to fortify and
sustain Grover Cleveland in his noble and
patriotic administration of the govern
ment
There are some Of the class of political
trimmers and dodgers, 1t is true, who have
been inclined TO doubt the political expe-
diency of so bold aud manly policy as
has been mapped out by the President for
the party; but these are people who take
counsel from their fears and have never
fully learned the lesson that fortune favors
the brave" 1t was the leadership of men
like these which threatened the dismem-
berment of the Democratic party. The
fears of this class of timid statesmen are
already being allayed by the inspiriting
influence of such brave leader as Grover
Cleveland has proved himself to be, and
there is little doubt that the party in Con-
gress will plant itself squarely on the line
of policy laid down by the President and
thus preserve its traditions and perpetuate
its organization.
